[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0159309, filed on 3 December, 2019, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated as part of the specification.

Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to a novel compound functioning as a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonist useful for treating autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, a preparation method therefor, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same as an active ingredient.

BACKGROUND ART

[0003] S1P (sphingosine-1-phosphate) is produced via an intracellular ceramide pathway, in which ceramide is the starting material. Ceramide is produced via two pathways, the first of which is de novo biosynthetic pathway. Ceramide is also produced by the degradation of sphingomyelin, a cell membrane constituent, in a cell. The S1P level in each tissue is controlled by two biosynthetic sphingosine kinases (SphKs) and two biodegradable S1P phosphatases (SIP lyase and lysophospholipid phosphatases). S1P, produced via phosphorylation of sphingosine by sphingosine kinase, is known to mediate various cellular responses, such as cell proliferation, cytoskeletal organization and migration, adherence- and tight junction assembly, and morphogenesis. S1P exists as a combined form with other plasma proteins, including albumin, at a high level (100-1000 nM) in plasma, while it is at a low level in tissues.

[0004] S1P binds with the S1P receptor, a G-protein coupled receptor, to show various biological functions. As S1P receptor sub-types, S1P1-S1P5 are known up to now and are named endothelial differentiation gene (EDG) receptors 1, 5, 3, 6, and 8, respectively. The S1P receptors are known to be involved in various biological functions such as leukocyte recirculation, neural cell proliferation, morphological changes, migration, endothelial function, vasoregulation, and cardiovascular development.

[0005] In recent years, many studies have found that the S1P signaling process via these receptors plays an important role in a series of responses related to multiple sclerosis, including inflammation response and the repair process, and a non-selective S1P1 agonist has been recently and actually approved as a therapeutic agent for multiple sclerosis. The S1P receptors are extensively expressed in many cells related to the induction of multiple sclerosis. Especially, the S1P1 receptor plays a very important role in the immune system. The S1P1 receptor is mainly expressed on the surface of lymphocytes such as T cells and B cells and responds to S1P, resulting in involvement in recirculation of lymphocytes. In normal conditions, the S1P concentration is higher in body fluid than in lymphoid tissue, and therefore lymphocytes leave lymphoid tissue by the difference of S1P concentration to circulate along efferent lymph. However, when the S1P1 receptor in lymphocytes is down-regulated by an S1P1 agonist, the egress of lymphocytes from lymphoid tissue does not occur, resulting in reduced infiltration of autoaggressive lymphocytes, which cause inflammation and tissue damage in the central nervous system (CNS). As a result, a therapeutic effect on multiple sclerosis is obtained. Fingolimod, a non-selective S1P1 agonist, has been approved as an oral medication for treating multiple sclerosis. When it binds to the S1P1 receptor and is activated, the receptor becomes degraded or internalized from the surface of lymphocytes. Thus, fingolimod acts as a functional S1P1 antagonist paradoxically.

Experimental Example: Evaluation of Ca²⁺ inducing ability of a test compound using a cell line expressing human sphingosine-1-phosphate

(1) Test Method: EC₅₀

[0238] It is a functional test method in which a therapeutic efficacy of an agonist compound is determined by an increase in calcium in CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cells, which overexpress human sphingosine-1-phosphate 1 receptor (S1P1 receptor) that react with sphingosine-1-phosphate (SIP). S1P is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) coupled to Gi protein that reacts with the S1P1 receptor and increases intracellular calcium concentration. CHO-K1 cells, which are used for preparing a stable cell line, show no change in the calcium concentration by S1P, and thus they are good for checking signals from human S1P receptors after transfecting the cells with each subtype of the receptors.

[0239] To prepare CHO cells which overexpress human S1P1-S1P5, human clones for each subtype having HA at the N terminal residue (S1P1: EDG010TN00, S1P2: EDG020TN00, S1P3: EDG030TN00, S1P4: EDG060TN00, S1P5: EDG080TN00) were purchased from Missouri S&T cDNA Resource Center and co-transfected with G-protein alpha subunit (G-alpha-16) into CHO-K1 cells. After separating cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS, LK BioScience, JSAN) using HA-antibodies (MACS, Anti-HA-PE), they were selectively cultured in the medium with 10% FBS (Gibco, USA), 0.5 mg/mL Geneticin (Gibco) and 0.2 mg/mL Hygromycin B F12 (Gibco) to obtain the desired cells.

[0240] A calcium measurement kit (Calcium 5 assay kit, Molecular Devices) was used to select an agonist compound. The principle of calcium measurement is that calcium-sensitive dyes are applied to cells, they enter into the cytoplasm of the cells during incubation, and when a ligand binds to a certain receptor to release calcium into the cytoplasm, the dyes bind to said calcium to induce fluorescence which is measured. This test method can sensitively measure only the intracellular calcium concentration change because any change that may occur outside the cells is masked by a masking dye.

[0241] The experimental procedure was as follows. One day before calcium measurement, CHO cells overexpressing hS1P1-hS1P5 were dispensed into a 96-well plate (bottom clear black well) in 3×10⁴ cells per well and cultured at 37°C under 5% carbon dioxide condition for one day. 100 µl of calcium dyes mixed with Assay Buffer (1×HBSS, 20 mM HEPES, 2.5 mM probenecid, pH 7.4) were dispensed into culture solution in well and cultured at 37°C for one hour. Test compounds were dissolved in 100% DMSO to prepare 1 µl solution per each concentration, and each solution was mixed with 199 µl Assay Buffer such that the concentrations were 50, 5, 0.5, 0.05, 0.005, and 0.0005 µM. The plate cultured with the calcium dyes was put into FlaxstationII (Molecular Devices), and the prepared test compounds (the final concentrations of the test compounds: 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001 and 0.0001 µM) were programmed to be automatically inoculated in 50 µl per each well. For a total of 90 seconds, relative fluorescence unit (RFU) values were measured. The value of Reference (S1P substance 1 µM) deducting the blank value was set as 100%, and EC₅₀ values of the test compounds were calculated by prism.
